If the base was one…"
lldell replied to lldell's discussion Wood grain based century lamp?"The holes look clean, I dont think its vinyl but it is NOT painted on. Its possible its not factory but if its not it was done well enough to fool me. I started to look for info on it but couldn't find any thats when I started to think maybe it…"

lldell replied to Scott Shipps's discussion Practices to practice - tip-n-stinks"This seems dishonest to me, someone somewhere is paying for the lamps that you are stealing, because thats what this is.
